4GB of system memory is ideal for productivity and office use, as well as basic gaming and multimedia.

DDR4 is the latest generation of memory, optimized for the latest Intel chipset motherboards, it offers higher frequencies that start at 2133Mhz, greater bandwidth and lower power consumption than DDR3 modules. In terms of real-world performance, there isn’t much difference as the faster frequencies of DDR4 are offset by tighter latencies of DDR3, with no conclusive winner. With future advancements DDR4 will deliver a performance advantage as latencies are reduced and games takes full advantage of the faster frequencies.
